Hopefully all those things will be available for the LS3/L99.

Can anyone give some insight to the hotcam vs high lift rocker option? Do you think the high lift rockers will add anywhere near the power as the cam? It's just such a simpler mod than a cam swap if it's within 20 hp it might not be worth it.

If your going to do a cam, there are much better alternatives to the hotcam. Be it from a pure performance aspect or a pure sleeper aspect. The thing is that if you go with higher ratio rockers you will more than likely have to replace them down the road if you do a cam sway anyways.

However, I would first go intake/exhaust before bothering with a cam....unless your just going for a sleeper cam.

I agree there are much better options than the Hotcam...if you need advice or want to order one let me know...I will hook you up.

That's what I said to myself!!!
I'm sure it'll be more once they "experiment" a little more with this.
Imagine the hp gains with long tube headers and new cat back?!!? YIKESSS!!!
And, that's without even mentioning a cam swap, intake,etc!!!

The rockers are a waste. They cost more than a new camshaft and require new valvesprings. Overall, you're looking at about $1100 for the rockers, and valve springs/retainers. And you might see 10 rwhp. Not worth it. Go with a cam.

pics, and price for the CAI. How is it different than the OEM or more importantly the GMPP CAI?

agreed!! as well as the gm hotcam is a waste also!! the ls3 is nothing brand new. their are tons of better cams out their from supporting vendors that will kill the gm hotcam

I know I have learned a whole bunch of stuff through the years from people who knew more than I could ever dream of learning by my own trial and error.

That is what we are here for. To test all products in different conditions before we let them out to the public. That way we know we are selling a product that not only looks good under the hood, but gives you the performance gains you are looking for.

I see alot of you would like to see pics of the cold air, but this is still just our prototype. Once our final product is completed, I will post up pics. Trust me, it is going to look very nice when you pop the hood. How many of you would be interested in paying more for a carbon fiber cold air induction system? I understand some people are just looking for hp gains but some might like the car show look as well.

carbon fiber or paint matched would be nice.
